We are excited to advertise the position of Democratic Services and Civic Officer in our Chief Executive’s Department. You will work in a small supportive team in the Council offices in Clitheroe and have responsibility for the Mayor’s Driver and Town Hall attendant.
Working closely with the Head of Legal and Democratic Services, the postholder will be required to manage the production and distribution of meeting agendas, attend meetings including evening meetings, produce the meeting minutes and action sheets. In addition, the postholder will be responsible for the Civic function within the Council including the Mayoralty, therefore we are looking for someone who has experience of communicating across a wide spectrum of people both individuals and in groups.
Whilst you will be organising a wide variety of events including arrangements for Annual Council and the Mayor’s charity events, you don’t need to be proficient in event planning, you just need a talent or interest in events coordination.
What we do ask is that you have experience of Local Government Administration, are competent in the use of office software and able to produce accurate information with an attention to detail. You will also be someone who uses tact and diplomacy and can deal with confidential information.
A full UK driving licence and access to a vehicle is essential as the postholder will be required to attend meetings away from the office.
